==== First to Respond ====
With this decided, Dalinar assembled a small team to help him: [[Aladar]] and his daughter [[May Aladar|May]], [[Navani]], [[Kalami]], [[Teshav Khal]], and two of Teshav's senior wards. The first ruler they reached out to via [[spanreed]] was [[Yanagawn]], the emperor of [[Makabak]] and king of [[Azir]]. He and his advisors rebuffed every invitation to visit Urithiru, admitted they were negotiating with the newly awakened [[singer]]s, and claimed that their Oathgate was nonfunctional. They broke off communication abruptly when Dalinar began speaking more forcefully. The [[Thaylen]]s next signaled readiness to communicate. Queen [[Fen]] herself conversed with the group, bluntly asking after Dalinar's true intentions. She also refused to come to Urithiru and even denied Dalinar's offer to send Alethi troops to help her rebuild [[Thaylen City]] from the destruction left by the [[Everstorm]].{{book ref|sa3|12}} The

Fen also gave Dalinar some advice on how to approach the Azish. At her suggestion, he went to [[Azimir]] alone, armed only with a set of writings by herself, Navani, and [[Jasnah]] that each presented a different argument.{{book ref|sa3|64}} Yanagawn and the viziers were highly impressed by the essays; not only did they agree to visit Urithiru, but they agreed to bring as many representatives of their member states as they could.{{book ref|sa3|65}}
The Alethi were determined to retake [[Kholinar]], so they sent a small group to try to unlock the Oathgate there and use it to bring troops from Urithiru to the city. This mission coincided with Dalinar receiving most of his lost memories regarding the [[Rift]] and his [[Evi|wife]]. During the stresses of these events, a group of representatives from Azir finally arrived at the tower. Dalinar was able to greet them, but Taravangian was the one to take them on a tour of Urithiru and receive from them a promise that they would return to discuss joining the coalition.{{book ref|sa3|86}}
=== War Efforts (1174 - 1175) ===
==== First Meeting of Monarchs ====
At the first meeting of monarchs in Urithiru, Navani asked each one to carry their own chair to the gathering as a symbol of equality and of bringing wisdom to the meeting. The attendant rulers were: Dalinar and Navani, as founders of the coalition and rulers of Urithiru; Yanagawn, the prime of Azir; Vexil the Wise, the prime of Emul; Ashno of Sages; the princess of Yezier; the ambassador from Tashikk; the [[highprinces]] of Alethkar; Fen, queen of Thaylenah; Taravangian; and Au-nak, the ambassador from New Natanan. Most of the Radiants from the respective nations also attended, as well as a host of support staff, scribes, interpreters, guards, and family.{{book ref|sa3|96}}
As Dalinar had asked Navani to lead the meeting, she attempted to moderate the discussion as it began with Emul asking for help, segued into discussions about tariffs, and fixated on apprehension of the emerging Radiant powers. Ialai Sadeas made it seem that the Alethi were looking to invade [[Shinovar]], after which the discussion devolved into chaotic arguing. Trying to reclaim order, Navani approached Yanagawn and asked what he thought the strength of his kingdom was. Upon hearing his answer, their laws, she assigned the Azish the task of drafting bylaws regulating the interactions of the nations in the coalition. When Queen Fen objected, Navani explained that the Thaylen's expertise in merchandise and shipping meant that they should be the ones to take care of regulating trade through the Oathgates. The Alethi, she said, would oversee the military aspects of the coalition. They decided to ensure they could control of the lands they still held first before trying to retake anything else. Taravangian, worried that the enemy was coming for Jah Keved, was reassured that the Alethi would send troops to help defend the city. Dalinar asked for another nation to send troops as well, as a show of solidarity, and Azir agreed. Navani called for a break at that point, and the various groups sounded much more encouraged as they began talking among themselves.{{book ref|sa3|96}}
